The only i change i made was to add call to gtk_window_fullscreen. Thats just one line of code.

So i dont think i kept the source, but you (or i) could easily get the latest source from :
http://www.gftp.org/

It will compile and run under chinook with no mods at all.

So you installed my (larger) gtp and chinese didnt work? Odd cause i would have thought i included project's Chinese (zh_TW,zh_CN) language pack... but then i was just guessing ive never used linux language support before.
